As the underground modern inception of “Mardukite” mysteries prepares to celebrate its 10th Anniversary of activity – during the second ever “global synchronized Marduk gate opening meditation” for Beltane 2018 – the subject of astral doorways, star gates, and other “spiritual” or “metaphysical” inter-dimensional portals is becoming a hot topic among not only the “Mardukite” scene, but also by other “New Age,” “alternative science” and “ancient aliens theorists.”

“Arcanum” by Joshua Free, 10th Anniversary Edition

Drawing from the pages of the newly released 10th Anniversary edition of the very first Mardukite publication – “ARCANUM: THE GREAT MAGICAL ARCANUM”by Joshua Free –

…a “threshold” or “portal” is quite simply a “gateway.” Modern practitioners believe that via the Universal Akasha (or superstrings) all things are connected. Different circumstances and natural conditions affect this “bridge” between worlds. In ritual meditations and ceremonial magick, the Nemeton (sacred space) serves as a temporary energetic threshold by which one is able to evoke (call forth) external powers that exist in the “invisible” (or what is “outside” of our normal perception of time-space).

In ritual meditations and ceremonial experiments, a “visible” counterpart or tool often represents “invisible” forces. For example, elemental tablets, elemental weapons and the like, are attractants, meaning catalysts for the specific elements being invited and made manifest through magickal work. Another example: regularly casting a circle or using the Watchtower Ceremony in a particular locale can change the vibrations (resonance impressions) of that space.

Meditating and studying from the Mardukite NECRONOMICON ANUNNAKI BIBLE (edited by Joshua Free) and the astral connections made via the Mardukite GATES OF THE NECRONOMICON (Year-2 anthology, also edited by Joshua Free) are believed to open personal channels and establish resonance specific to the planetary or otherwise “Olympian” deities realized in their rawest form as the Anunnaki pantheon, described best by the ancient Sumerians, Babylonians, Akkadians, Chaldeans, Assyrians, and the like – they are encountered elsewhere in geography and history by other cultures and in names from other languages.

A practical exploration of rituals and rites from these traditions is also found in Joshua Free’s Mardukite NECRONOMICON GRIMOIRE (Year 3 anthology).

Since time and space are relative in the Infinite Universe, so are the thresholds. Energetic events in other dimensions (astral, Otherworld, etc.) that are connected to ours will produce effects in our world.

Cosmic events can have repercussions on the energies that manifest by the elements through weather and natural terrain. Certain times and places simply “feel” more magickal than others, and while there are energetic causes behind this, they tend to go unrecognized. Historically, mystics observed different effects under varying natural conditions and this lore comes to use in the New Age as magickal timing (using the Moon, Sun and planetary influences).

Grimoires and archaic ritual texts frequently specify the timing of the operation or events that must coincide with it (e.g. an equinox or solstice). The ritual then continues with the wizard doing something in the visible realm to affect the energetic vibrations via the invisible realm. In essence, the wizard does something “here” to affect something “there,” appearing as though remotely manipulated like a screen and keyboard, but in truth “here” and “there” are entangled as one.

SO…WHAT ABOUT THE TRADITIONAL “GATES OF THE NECRONOMICON”???

According to standard Babylonian/Mesopotamian tradition and as famously described in the Simonian Necronomicon, there are seven “planetary” thresholds encountered when the shaman or wizard is “rising on the planes” of the Ladder of Lights, or “Stairway to Heaven” – a form of “initiation via the Astral Plane.” This is comparable to the “Rising on the Planes” (or aethyrs) of Enochian Magick. It is also understood, much as displayed in other kabbalistic models of metaphysical cosmology, that access to a very real Gate or Door to the “Other” is concealed within the system. However it may be accessed directly, one things is for sure: This is the very “magic” for which BABYLON was named for!

Also spelled “Anunaki” or “Annunaki,” this race of humanoids appear as genetically superior avatars responsible for the genesis of Man and human civilizations in the lore found on the most ancient tablets. Their name can be translated literally as “Star-Dragons” (“anu-nagi”), but may interpreted as “they whom from Heaven to Earth came” or “they whom decree Fate on Earth.” Lore of Anunnaki appears prominent in Sumerian “Creation epic,” the most ancient paradigm to emerge from prehistory, later carried forth by such cultures as the Akkadians and Babylonians.

“Arcanum” by Joshua Free, 10th Anniversary Edition

The entirety of this Mardukite NecroGate blog post is based on the new 10th Anniversary edition of “ARCANUM: THE GREAT MAGICAL ARCANUM” by Joshua Free, considered the “greatest underground occult classic of the 21st century” prior to the release of any other of Joshua Free’s prestigious titles. The Arcanum materials spawned the Mardukite Research Organization a decade ago! Arcanum materials span nearly 1000 topics including many pertaining to Anunnaki, Mesopotamian Mysteries, Sumerian Religion and Babylonian Magick.

According to the Edaphic Tradition, the Anunnaki are the original intelligent race to occupy the Earth Planet, known as the Children of the Stars or Gods of Anu, later called dragons and Elves. Some evidence supports the possibility that they arrived here from a an exo-planet home base, called Nibiru or the “Place of Crossings” that the Egyptians called the “Planet of Millions of Years.” If we are to adopt the research of Zecharia Sitchin, then this place is unique from other planets in our Solar System because of its comet-like elliptical orbit estimated (from Sumerian numerology interpretations) to take 3,600 Earth years to complete a cycle around the Sun (giving time and lifespans on Nibiru relative appearance of “eternal” or “immortal” in comparison to cycles on the Earth Planet). Contemporary society has difficulty accepting theories of an interdimensional or “extraterrestrial” origin to human existence (and we can thank the Church for this omission in knowledge). According to some interpretations of the ancient tablets, environmental conditions of Nibiru were suffering (not altogether dissimilar to present-day life and future projections for the Earth Planet). They possessed a belief that injecting gold into their planetary atmosphere would protect them from a deteriorating atmospheric shield.

A council of fifty Anunnaki arrived on Earth, dispatched by Anu, including his direct descendants: Enlil and Enki. These “fifty names” were later unified under the Mardukite banner in Babylon. For years the original dispatched Igigi-Watchers toiled, mining the mineral (which maybe why the Sahara desert exists where a plush rainforest once occupied). Other interpretations explain that the Anunnaki and Watchers were working the lands to make the Earth Planet livable. In some biblical translations, integration or interaction of Anunnaki races on Earth are referred to as Nephilim or “Sons of God,” describing a clear distinction between their race’s terrestrial existence and the “Sons of Man” (later called Sons of Mil by Tuatha d’Anu).

One day, the “Workers” decide to stop toiling after observing a potential chance for bioengineering. They proposition the Anunnaki Council for approval. Some version say that Enki had discovered early able hominids who had naturally evolved to a “primitive” form from the life seeded on the planet. Anunnaki believed that by mixing some of their own coded genetic material (DNA) with the “ape-man,” a more accelerated race of workers could be formed. Though similar, they would look different from the ”ape-man” and bare an image more closely resembling their creators. Without this understanding, the original Homo sapien race emerged as if from nowhere. [Darwin’s model of evolution accounts for natural development of many life forms on the Earth Planet, but modern man is not one of them.] It may seem harsh, but humans are the result of “genetic intervention,” a naked slave race for the gods, treated like domesticated work animals by a “Watcher” race.

From Tablet A, within the “Necronomicon Anunnaki Bible,” a seeker is introduced to these beings as follows:

“This is the Book of Dead Names of the Anunnaki, Watchers & IGIGI, those beings which have appeared to man in ages past, both physically on Earth and in global mythologies as ‘gods.’ While the text which follows, spanning thousands of years of primordial lore, illustrates the ‘gods of Men,’ no illusion should be maintained over the true nature of their divinity. The ‘powers’ and ‘forces’ that have historically appeared to humans are simply that and nothing more, and yet mankind followed in with the plan of ‘deifying’ these beings into “gods” complete with religious traditions and followings defended by the sword. Offerings which first served to feed the Anunnaki themselves would later feed priests and their families once the “gods” left the Earth, leaving their shrines and temples empties, and humans seemingly forgotten.”

The story of the Anunnaki takes a twist when Enki, the chief scientist, mates with a “mortal,” an act that enrages the others (interpreting such behavior as “bestiality”). The similarity in DNA allowed reproduction. As “Lord of the Earth,” Enki’s dynastic bloodline from ancient Mesopotamia (also known as the “Line of Samael”) launched the legacy of Dragon Kings, who ruled here in Anu’s name. Sons of God were Children of the Stars born of stellar genetics, not natural evolution. The “ape-man” continued to evolve on its own separate from the star-race until it was eventually replaced by interbreeding “Homo sapiens” altogether. Understand, that against popular anthropological belief, Neanderthal and “Homo erectus” are bred out and go extinct. They do not “evolve into” “Homo sapiens.” In addition to the lineage of Enki on Earth, Marduk was a pioneer in actually espousing an Earthling wife, Sarpanit (who gives birth to the messianic heir Nabu). This lineage was carried by dedicate priest-king lines in both Egypt and Babylon.

The “Old Testament” story of the “Garden of Eden” is derived from pre-Semitic lore (from Mesopotamia) of E.DIN. The Anunnaki created “star-gates” for transportation and alleged physical landing stations in three regions (Mesopotamia, Egypt and South America) sparking the religious tradition of building ziggurats and pyramids. The Anunnaki also began the process of cultivating and harvesting (agriculture) that began in the experimental “gardens” of E.DIN. The hybrid slave-race was specifically selected for the task of maintaining the garden and tending the land. There are cuneiform tablets mentioning integration of Anunnaki genetics with these hybrids to create “Adapa,” the biblical “Adam.” Much of this is lost in contemporary scriptures, although even the Holy Bible informs that a different evolution took place outside of Eden and Adam’s bloodline. After Cain kills Abel he leaves to join the primitive culture of the nomadic Nodites that had previously existed apart from the Adamic line!

After gold had been excavated and Anunnaki were in dispute over Enki, the High Council learned of a geologic shift about to take place on Earth due to shifting ice masses and the poles. A deluge was coming. Enlil and the Anunnaki decided to leave and return to Nibiru. Their intention: to abandon humans to die. Enki felt differently and gives humans specific instructions for construction of an “ark” (possibly a submarine) in which to preserve tablets of knowledge and living creatures of the planet. Here, in ancient Sumerian lore, on the “Atra-asis Tablets” and again in the “Epic of Gilgamesh,” we find an obvious source for the story of “Noah’s Ark” thousands of years before the Jewish Tradition.

The Flood Archetype may relate to origins of the Atlantis legend as well. Traditions developed in the form of Egyptian and Greek “Hermetics” and also by the Tuatha d’Anu tribe of Dragon Kings that ignited the La Tene/Danubian culture across mainland Europe. The “ark” was directed to Mt. Ararat, the highest point in the region and logically the first place that the waters would subside after the deluge. The Anunnaki returned after the “flood” to “inspect the damage.” They found life on the Earth Planet (at least in Mesopotamia) had survived. Even Enlil was pleased and decided to assist other Anunnaki in helping humans launch the first human Sumerian civilizations of known history based at a site that had been used before the flood, named Eridu. After society was developing well, the Anunnaki leave a final time and genetic hybrids (Dragon Kings) become the “ruling class.” The Eridu civilization transformed into the Ubaid and Uruk cultures before being handed down to the Akkadians, Egyptians and Babylonians, where Enki and Marduk, not Enlil, were revered.

In addition to the GREAT MAGICAL ARCANUM by Joshua Free, the Mardukite Truth Seeker Press is proud to present a complete course curriculum in ancient mysteries including the “Mardukite Core” available in four annual anthologies, each composed of three or more titles and now available more economically than ever before!

Among many facts borrowed from the Cthulhu Mythos and adopted for the Simon Necronomicon, the idea that it originated from the pen of a “Mad Arab” named Abdul Alhazred is entirely Lovecraftian, indicated nowhere within the text of the Necronomicon aside from the editor’s commentary and again in regards to the work of H.P. Lovecraft.

This kind of logic is attacked by critics and used to undermine the true ‘between-the-lines’ message the Simon Necronomicon carries in reviving interest in the post-Sumerian “Mardukite” or Babylonian archetypal methodology (or systemology).

The problem arises with identifying the author or even dating manuscripts or versions of the ancient tablets being laid down from presumably the original author’s memory. The bait-and-switch occurs when we again apply the Lovecraftian basis and the logic is mutated to occur as follows:

a) the work of Lovecraft defines the Necronomcon
b) according to Lovecraft the book is written by Abdul Alhazred in the 8th century
c) the Simon work is called the Necronomicon
d) — therefore: the Simon Necronomicon is written by the “Mad Arab” Abdul Alhazred in 8th century Damascus. QED.

…such thinking is obviously flawed.

The main text of the Simon Necronomicon begins with the ‘first part’ of what has been sectioned off as the Testimony of the Mad Arab. The ‘second part’ composes the book’s epilogue. Although ancient Mesopotamia served as the origins
of language, civilization and ultimately ‘religion,’ it had grown or evolved, fragmented with time into something very different by the time of the Necronomicon’s alleged beginnings in 8th century Babylonia. We are meaning 800 years after the birth of Jesus Christ, long after the decline of true ‘paganism’ in the name of some new ideal or another (not always ‘Christian’).

‘Paganism’ as a rural folk tradition is not really even what the original archetypal Anunnaki system is about – being a national religion – but it is certainly a starting place for later ‘country’ beliefs and surviving remnants of ancient wisdom in the wake of later urban Christianization. But, the beautiful harmony of the ‘complete system’ was ever lost to the public for thousands of years until relatively recently in light of the intensive and rigorous work being (and having been) conducted by the Mardukite Chamberlains in their post-modern next generational relay of the Anunnaki legacy in total.

By the time of the 8th century, paganism, witchcraft and the contemporary idea of magick and occultism was not looked ‘highly’ upon by global society, not only as a result of rising Christianity but also in accord with the growth of the new Arabic and Middle Eastern religions that had formed thousands of years after the inception of the Babylonian tradition. The “Old Ways” were shunned regardless of their increased clarity and advanced nature.

As explained in the preface to the second edition of our own Necronomicon Anunnaki Bible, the Schlangekraft Recension was “alluding to a tradition that significantly predated itself. The work was not ‘ahead of its time’, but was instead lagging
‘behind its time’, seeking to preserve, perhaps from the memory of its allegedly Arabic author, the lore and traditions of a dying or dead Mardukite priesthood.”

“The book is not at all like what we would expect to find from a living tradition being operated in Babylon such as theoretically could have been carried by priest-magicians of Marduk and Enki – though they relied solely on catalogues (collections) of hardened clay tablets versus the papyrus and paper (scrolls) more easily conjured to mind concerning magical and religious documents. Instead of this, the Simon Necronomicon are more in line with an antiquated reconstructionist (or revivalist) effort, such as we might find throughout other examples existent in the ‘New Age’ today.” ~ Liber-R, Necronomicon Revelations

According to its author, the Necronomicon is the “Book of the Dead” and also the “Book of Black Earth,” which is a reference to the “Magan” lands (or Arabian Desert) that separates Mesopotamia from Egypt. Further, it is suggested that the knowledge therein is comprised of what was learned while ‘traveling’ on the ‘spheres’ of the Igigi – meaning “Watchers” or “Guardians” (sometimes referred to as “overseers”) that were a subservient class of Anunnaki being. The Igigi were akin to ‘angels’ or ‘messengers’ whereas the Anunnaki proper composed the actual ‘pantheon’ of the ‘gods’.

“In my city of Babylon — the Gateway of the Gods — my prophet-son resides, my hand he grasps. The King & Prophet enter as New Babylon Rises. In my city before me, my Temple shall be erected anew. In my city — in my temple — the ‘Temple Like a Mountain’ shall be renewed. The Dur-An-Ki plans are set. Until the End-of-Days, I shall be there in the ‘House in the Heights’ and at the End-of-Ages, my Stargate will be opened…”–The Marduk Prophecies c.2017 BC

Many chronicles exist of ancient Mesopotamia from cuneiform tablet annals and interpretations brought to the public from the Mardukite Research Organization & Publishing Group… but our efforts have never been restricted to purely academic or literary ventures. Complimenting the offbeat off-the-wall approach taken by our official spokesman, NABU JOSHUA FREE, our unique non-secular non-sectarian “organization” has conducted many esoteric occult and covert “experiments” in global reform, blatantly since 2008.

One such cumulative effort is the reestablishment of a New Babylon Rising — and here we are in the 40th Year of the New Age of Marduk (begun in 1977). We are in the same circumstances now, in 21st Century AD as we once were in the 21st Century BC and above all, the prophetic raising of the Marduk Temple and Nabu Gate for a New Age — a New Babylon Rising — is now upon us!

During this reconstruction, citizens of Englewood Colorado and the EPD (Englewood Police Department) were less than tolerant of our work, in spite of our civic respectfulness. At one juncture, JOSHUA FREE was threatened by Englewood Police Department with imprisonment if the Marduk Temple were found on Englewood streets again. In spite of the posted signage indicating the work as a World Heritage Project, this fascist trend is expected to rise in Colorado as the influence of Denver’s Urban Camping Ban spreads.

Plans are still being developed for the NATIONAL MARDUKITE NEXGENCON scheduled for the August 2017 eclipse at Carhenge, Nebraska following a Wizards of the Wasteland spiritual retreat in the South Dakota Badlands. The Mardukite Nabu Gate & Temple of Marduk is expected to be the centralized icon of this event.

Further plans are in development for 2017 to acquire rural land designated as a NexGen Sanctuary for the future New Babylon Rising and of course, the Marduk Temple. The emphasis and purpose of this Sanctuary is to provide for the continued existence of Mardukite Chamberlains activities and survival of the Library of Nabu-Tutu archives for posterity.

“The dragon legacy extends throughout time and space without inhibition. For whatever it has later come to encompass and represent to both the common folk and the initiated, it has an origin – one that can be found in Mesopotamia.”–Joshua Free in DRACONOMICON

DRACONOMICON — The History, Magick and Traditions of Dragons, Druids and the Pheryllt by Joshua Free — celebrates its 20TH ANNIVERSARY!!

Extending our mind to the most discrete past, based on what knowledge is currently available, we are immediately confronted with a world of primordial and primeval monsters that are almost beyond the comprehension of modern humans who have had no direct overt encounters in their recent genetic memory concerning such “monstrous” creations on the planet – or in the greater universe.

The beauty of using the MESOPOTAMIAN archetype as a “Source-tradition” or “baseline” is that it is not only historically logical to do so, given its place in history, but the material it offers – as has been so thoroughly analyzed in the works of Joshua Free – is “complete.”

Not only does it allude to “monstrous creations” in the cosmos that precede the existence of humanity, it provides evidence for the possibility (or fact) of genetic engineering and “third-party manipulation” taking place not only on earth, but in other “worlds” as well. To uneducated (uninitiated) minds, such concepts are seemingly unfathomable!

MARDUK with the Dragon of Babylon, SIRRUS

Referring to the most paramount of the post-Sumerian (Babylonian) accounts of the Epic of Creation, scholars most notably refer to the ENUMA ELIS – a series of seven (six plus one) cuneiform tablets that were forged by the “Nabu Priesthood” in Babylon as a means of elevating the status of MARDUK, an Anunnaki Prince-Son of ENKI (the brother of ENLIL). A considerable amount of background information for this paradigm can be gleaned from the “Mardukite” work by Joshua Free – but the main tenets are clear by any approach.

When in the heights the Heavens
Had not been named,
And the Earth had not yet been named,
And the Primeval APSU, who birthed them,
And CHAOS, TI.AM.TU,
The Ancient One – Mother to them ALL.

We are given here, a description of the formation (or formulation) of the universe as a material matrix-structure. From out of nothingness came the Abyss – and from the Abyss was spawned (fragmented) the first of the material creatures, TIAMAT, the primeval dragon and “Mother” to ALL.

Later, from the same tablet, we are given a description of her ability to further “spawn” (fragment) material existence into the “monstrous” and “horrific” creations that now seem to only imaginatively plague men in their nightmares.

TI.AM.TU spawned monster-serpents,
Sharp of tooth and merciless of fang;
With poison, instead of blood,
She filled their bodies.
Fierce monster-vipers she clothed with terror.
She set up vipers and dragons,
And the monster LAHAMU…
After this fashion
She made eleven kinds of monsters.
